An interesting mix, I thought. Rather than turn this into a 'my favourite Top 10 DB songs' post which has, I'm sure been covered zillions of times, perhaps TWers might have thoughts about what they would recommend in this list instead, that someone interested in downloading a 'Top 10' would enjoy.

For me, IAOA would have to go - I've never liked it - unimaginative, 'shouty' lyrics and unnecessary bombast. A couple of them have obvious commercial appeal (Let's Dance, Golden Years, Ashes to Ashes) but others are refreshingly non-mainstream (Win, V2-Schneider, Breaking Glass).

Some odd-ass choices there. Breaking Glass? I mean, I have loads of affection for that track, but I mean, I have to call it "that track" because it's not even really a song.

My list, in no particular order:

Station to StationDrive-In SaturdayJump They SayQuicksandBewlay BrothersSeven Years in TibetFive YearsThe MotelWe Prick YouTeenage Wildlife

Some odd-ball selections, and by no means would I say these are the ten best songs exactly... But they're ten songs that have at some point or another managed to become the focal point of my existence, and that's as good a criterion as any.

Sadly, no Low on there, but there's just not a track on there that I feel really stands on its own strongly enough to be Top Ten. I suppose I could take how well a song plays in the context of its album into consideration, but then it would turn into a fist-fight between most of Low and most of Outside. Which may be a contest worth a thread of its own.

This list is pretty much a combination of the Bowie songs I really like and those I believe could be called his best (hence the seeming abundance of hits):New Killer Star,Sunday,Dead Against It,Ashes to Ashes,"Heroes",A New Career in a New Town,Station to Station,Young Americans,Big Brother,Aladdin Sane.
